Raiders name team for Roosters
game

Canberra Raiders coach Matthew Elliott has named his side for this Sunday's round 8 NRL blockbuster against the Sydney Roosters.

Jason Croker is set to make his highly-anticipated return to the field, after a stint on the sidelines following corrective surgery on a screw in his leg. Croker has been abscent from the Raiders lineup since playing in the side's round 1 victory over the Dragons at OKI Jubilee Stadium and has been named on a 5-man bench by Elliott.

Raiders VB Premier League coach Wayne Collins has named a relatively unchanged lineup from last week's team which downed the Knights at Canberra Stadium. Josh Miller comes into the starting lineup, with Blake Hinschen returning to Jersey Flegg.
